No that is not permitted and if reported it will be removed.

no it is not ok.   

 

That being said we are not ebay police - let them do their own dirty work.

 

Seller is probably feeling very frustrated and angry at a non-paying buyer, maybe they cool down and change the listing in a while.

Im not trying to police ebay as that would take a life time. I reported this listing but there isnt a correct option as why it was reported

Which is why so many bad sellers are able to remain on eBay......Smiley Sad

 

I went in now for the hell of it to see how to report a listing, guess what - a listing, such as this one the OP has highlighted, has indeed got no 'correct' reporting reason.

 

Had to laugh, no option to detail 'other reason' orto be specific - nothing, no wonder the doozies get away with things.Smiley Mad

 

Good luck to them I guess, eBay certainly don't seem to give a flying............

Hi GC.

 

I managed to by using the mention of another eBayer's ID - the non paying last bidder.

Looks like it is gone. If I were a buyer I would hit the back button pdq if I saw such unprofessional behaviour from a seller and other sellers are unlikely to see it so what is the point?.

Went to :

 

Report Item.

 

Listing Practices.

Innapropriate Item Description.

Publish Contact Information.

 

Just checked the item number again - think it has gone.
